I have a feeling someone might agree with me on this next one. Butch dykes really piss me off for the most part. I’m talking the ones that look like dudes at first glance. I’ve made exceptions over the years, but if you’re a chick and wanna look like a dude, then you should have the junk to go with it.
Dude, they do. They just keep it in a drawer when they’re not using it.
You ever hear that old musical version of War Of The Worlds with Richard Burton and David Essex and the Moody Blues and a gang of crazy synthesizers and psychedelic guitar? Phil Lynott was a preacher in that. Awesome shit.
HA! I thought that was a bronze statue of Jimmy Hendrix and I was thinking, “Why the fuck is he standing with a bass guitar?”.
[reply]Just for the record:
Thin Lizzy is fucking awesome!!!
Totally true.
And I LOVE that Phil statue. We need more bronze statues of rock gods. In LA I think we have . . . zero. Yeah, I’m pretty sure we have zero.[/reply]
Most people only know them for “Boys are Back in Town” and “Jailbreak”…those people are missing out…
Northern Ireland is a cesspool filled with cunts in power and cunts on the street who think you’re threatening them if you look at them (not exactly an unpopular thought, but one that needed to be expressed).
Absolutely spot on. You live in Belfast? I do, was just despairing at some of the cunts i saw on the bus in town today. Absolute scum of the lowest level, the dregs of the dregs. Bottom of the barrel spides who’d start a row with their own reflection.

Never heard of it, but I’ll definitely look for it. It sounds totally awesome!

Yeah, truly. And in all honesty, if I wasn’t familiar with more of the band’s output I’d be totally turned off of looking further just because of how overplayed and Disneyraped that “Boys Are Back In Town” song is.
Oh, crap. I might have to murder Davelybob (sorry, Brother, I love you, but there’s a principle at stake here). Apparently “Amazeballs” was forced into the Lexicon by Perez Hilton.

Was he sucking some amazing balls, and all he could get out in the throes of ecstasy was “mmrrrrrmmmm amaaaaazeballlllthhhh!!”?
So Maiden actually has tough fans in Europe? That’s cooler than the fag majority of their fans in the States. The only songs I like from Maiden are “Can I Play With Madness,” “Stranger In A Strange Land,” and “Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter.” I also like “Running Free” with Paul Di’Anno, and I’m curious to hear more from that period. I will say that they were the highlight of Ozzfest '05, but Gunnar and I have told that story numerous times.
The average Maiden fans is normally either a teenage guy or girl, or a mid-40s dude with a beer belly. I’ve seen them live 3 times. not a huge fan, but they were great every time. Once with Blaze Bayley (in a small venue that wasn’t exactly packed out) and twice with Bruce Dickinson. Great showman. But yeah, fanwise, i’d say some of the older guys are probably pretty tough, but more of them would be uncool people who haven’t been out the door in years and have only seen Maiden live, because they don’t actually like any other bands.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAA!!!
Best post ever.
You want to see some real fans…check out a Maiden show in South America…fucking rabid…they go bonkers through the entire show…they don’t stand around moping with cell phones in their hands like the pussies over here…
There’s a guy in the Flight 666 documentary in Brazil or somewhere, a priest who’s known as “Father Iron Maiden”, his entire body is covered in Maiden tattoos. I don’t know if he bases sermons on Bring Your Daughter To The Slaughter" or anything but he’s obviously quite a big fan. South American and Eastern Europe seem to be the craziest metal fans these days, and have been for some time. Japan, you’re falling behind!!

Agreed on Boys…I don’t ever want to hear that song again but of course I will for the rest of my life cuz it’s been shamelessly pilfered over and over again for every goddamn product or show in existence…sad that it will keep a lot of people from checking out more Lizzy…they have some incredible music…

Yeah that guy is pretty devoted to say the least…

Yep! They’re totally badass.
I found out on my last trip to Mexico that one of my clients is a metalhead (you would never know from looking at her) and they want me to come down for some shows, so I’ll soon be giving a report on what a metal show in Mexico City is like.
First of all, Maiden has been around for over 30 years, so their shows have a pretty wide spread of ages from the teenagers who recently discovered them via Guitar Hero, to their parents. Maiden and AC/DC shows have a decent number of families in attendance even.
There’s some solid rockers partying in the parking lot before the show and we’ll usually be going nuts up front too. But Maiden certainly has a sizeable contingency of nerds too.
No straight up a-holes or posing tough guy macho men, though, so I’m happy. It’s the 300 lb drunken redneck that is just looking to knock people over and start fights that I hate more than anything, and thankfully, he’s not at the Maiden shows.
Yeah, normally those big drunken nobheads are at Metallica shows. I love Metallica but a lot of their “fans” are quite intolerable.

Metallica has a lot of the same subsets that Iron Maiden has, but with the unfortunate addition of some “big drunken nobheads” and idiot fratboy douchebags.

I do indeed. I know what you mean, they’re bad enough normally but the half decent weather makes them even bigger cunts.
Gunnar, that bar has always been crap. A friend of mine DJ’d in it for a while. People complained when he played Sodom and Venom on the “Extreme Metal” nights.
And, on a different note, Thin Lizzy are shite.

And don’t forget about wiggers.
And don’t forget about wiggers.
I’ve seen Metallica 5 times and the only time I noticed any “wiggers” was when I was at the “Summer Sanitarium” in 2003. But that was primarily because there were a bunch of nu-metal pudrockers on the bill . . . Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, and Mudvayne. Baggy pants and cornrows and all kinds of faggy faggitry.
